In an exciting fashion collaboration, BAPE is gearing up to release a highly limited run of just 50 jackets, paying tribute to the iconic Michael Jackson and his legendary 'Thriller' jacket. The much-anticipated launch is set for October 28th, and it's not just the jackets that have fans buzzing.
This unique collection marks the debut of the full Michael Jackson x BAPE collaboration, promising a thrilling array of fashion items that capture the essence of the King of Pop's signature style. Make sure to mark your calendars, as October 28th is the date to watch out for if you're looking to snag a piece of music and fashion history.
A Bathing Ape has just unveiled an upcoming Michael Jackson collection, complete with an incredibly limited edition of varsity jackets inspired by the King of Pop's iconic "Thriller" video. The jacket in question, inspired by the very one MJ wore in the 1983 John Landis-directed short film, will be produced in a mere 50 pieces. This exclusive release is part of a larger collaborative collection that also includes t-shirts and sweatshirts featuring an animated take on the late artist.
The enduring legacy of "Thriller" and its unforgettable jacket recently found a reference in the official video for Offset's single "Fan," from his album "Set It Off." Offset emphasized the personal nature of his new album, drawing parallels between his journey and that of MJ. He expressed, "I've been working on this project for over two years now. This season is personal for me. It marks a new chapter in my life. I feel like Michael Jackson, coming from a successful group to breaking records and achieving superstardom on my own. This body of work is healing for me and a letter to my fans and supporters."
For fans of Michael Jackson, there's more to look forward to, as director Antoine Fuqua is working on a Michael Jackson biopic starring the singer's nephew, Jaafar Jackson. While the official release date for the film is yet to be announced, it was confirmed in late August that production was on pause due to strikes. This upcoming biopic is anticipated to be a motion picture event that explores the remarkable journey of the man who became the King of Pop.
